While it may be true that the shipyard phase currently accounts for just one to three percent of a vessel’s carbon footprint, that will change with the advent of fossil-free fuels. Amidst the energy transition, shipyards are gradually switching on to the need to implement more comprehensive sustainability solutions in their operations, business practices and yard infrastructures.There have been some high-profile developments in recent months. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/295" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fincantieri Yachts (Company)">Fincantieri</a> has announced a plan to install solar panels across five of its sites in Italy, generating a total of 10 megawatts to reduce energy draw on the national grid by 11GWh annually. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1757" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Palumbo Superyachts (Company)">Palumbo</a> has installed solar panels at its Malta yard, a wind turbine at its Naples facility and aims to achieve full sustainability across its seven shipyards by 2030. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> in the Netherlands, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a> in France, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3255" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard (Company)">Gold Coast City Marina &amp; Shipyard</a>in Australia are all assessing eco solutions from rainwater collection to wastewater treatment. However, harvesting renewable energy or paying more attention to recycling is only a fraction of what’s involved in greening a shipyard.Case study: The new-build yard &nbsp;With a workforce of over 3,000 employees across five sites, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess Yachts</a> has a significant economic and industrial impact on the city of Plymouth in the UK. The company is taking its commitment to sustainability very seriously by re-assessing every facet of its operations with the aim of increasing efficiency and reducing costs, which makes for a compelling business case. Overseeing this sustainability drive is Laura Parry, who joined <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess Yachts</a> in 2020 as Environmental &amp; Compliance Manager. Since then she has seen her role grow exponentially.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310000/image/large-1527d40e4e81c2d2905f4c4ee4346cc8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310000">“I started off as the sole person within the company with this focus, assisting the health &amp; safety department,” she says. “I now have an intern from the city’s university and two environmental sustainability business partners who work across all five sites.”That extra help is needed: the policies that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess</a> is investing in and that Parry is overseeing are extensive, and potentially transformative for the business. It starts with ISO compliance, in particular standards 9001 (quality), 14001 (environmental management system) and 45001 (health &amp; safety). Standard 14001, especially, is about continual improvement, which is monitored internally but also audited annually by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1452" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lloyd's Register (Company)">Lloyd’s Register</a>. Coupled to this has been an investment by KPS Capital Partners, the American private equity company that became the new owners of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess Yachts</a> in February 2023.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310002/image/large-67497365ffbc44949c7059c3b71c4ba4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310002">“The new &nbsp;shareholders are very keen on environmental sustainability and we have a good plan of action for 2024,” says Parry. “There is a clear focus on sustainability from the top, which really helps our cause.”In addition, a university PhD student is making a complete lifecycle assessment of one model line, literally deconstructing it to analyse every aspect of the construction from the nuts and bolts to energy waste.“Without that we could put our finger in the air and say we think our biggest impact is waste management, but the truth is we don’t know,” admits Parry. “What this LCA will do is point us in the right direction with qualitative and quantitative data. It’s already led us to tweak and change our operations.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/258136/image/large-1a5b771835acfb06005cd285755181e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/258136">The end goal is to move the shipyard from a linear to a circular economy and address end-of-life issues, particularly as the yard builds in GRP, by working with its procurement team to go back to the roots of the supply chain.“That’s not only for our own good; it’s also supporting other people to be on that journey, because that’s how you inspire people, by taking them on the journey with you,” says Parry. “Working with your suppliers is really where it all starts.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310003/image/large-170fa1e30cbba074b8d52f3fb02f7dc3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310003">Managing infrastructure&nbsp;Tangibles that can be quickly addressed include reducing waste-to-landfill, shifting waste-to-energy partners from 50 kilometres away to a local plant, increasing recycling, sourcing eco-material alternatives and looking at how to reduce waste by using material off-cuts for other purposes. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess Yachts</a> runs a digital waste dashboard that allows Parry to monitor positive or negative change in waste management and reduction.&nbsp;“For any company, it’s about working in collaboration with different departments,” she advises. “I might have the technical expertise, but without the support from the rest of the business we would not have seen the progress made so far.”These studies have led to some unexpected changes in best practice. The yard uses Crestomer structural adhesive extensively, for example, but then has to handle the responsible disposal of the packaging. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309998/image/large-708efe6fda18444b60cf35d6486c9292.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309998">“When we looked into the disposal compliance, because it’s hazardous waste, we discovered that the liners weren’t being properly squeezed out, which meant a considerable amount of wasted product,” Parry points out. “So by improving compliance we actually made financial savings. Those savings for a large boatbuilder can easily equal tens of thousands of euros just through recovered product.”Similar gains can be made in other areas. The company has undertaken remedial works to remove air leaks, which will deliver significant annual cost savings, and completion of the transition to LED lighting in all the production areas is expected to deliver a six-figure saving.&nbsp;“We’re also looking at a centralised compressor plant at one of our biggest sites to improve running and efficiency,” adds Parry. “It’s quite an investment in infrastructure, but it improves efficiency and will mean we become smarter in how we operate. We’re also adding photovoltaics to the sheds, and biomass heating was commissioned in 2022.”Case study: The refit yard&nbsp;Operating as a refit shipyard presents its own set of challenges, because you’re not working on vessels from raw material to finished product, or at least not with the same degree of control over the process that a new-build yard has. However, refit offers other opportunities to reshape the sustainability landscape across the industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261593/image/large-9a3563c54f6a32b0b53c0e0fd713e509.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261593">“Shipyards can do two things – one is what you are doing as a business, and the other is what you’re implementing on the assets you are working on,” says Txema Rubio, Commercial Director at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/97" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 Barcelona (Company)">MB92</a>. “A new-build yard can choose the type of propulsion, the materials, et cetera. In refit it’s a completely different story, but we have an important role to play, because at the end of the day we’re receiving an asset and we’re being asked to improve it.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/97" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 Barcelona (Company)">MB92</a> was an early adopter of sustainability and has been proactive in sourcing solutions. For the yard element, installing solar panels on the shed roofs has been one aspect, but equally important is where the rest of their power comes from. Its Barcelona shipyard, for example, has an agreement with the energy provider that all its electricity comes from renewables, which ties in with new yard policies that all yachts in the yard must use shore power – running diesel generators is no longer allowed. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310004/image/large-9a69ef2fe6ee15eb59947cc683e97d8d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310004">Similarly, yachts can only be painted on hardstanding, not afloat. Hardstanding is a much higher cost per day than berthing and that means telling clients that if they want to have a paint job at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/97" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 Barcelona (Company)">MB92</a> they will have to pay at the hardstand rate, not the berthing rate.&nbsp;“We lost a lot of clients in the beginning, but now clients understand why we have that policy,” says Rubio. “It means the yard has much more control over everything, from water treatment to prevention of leaks and spills, and it ties in to other yard infrastructure and machinery investments that contribute to reducing the environmental impact of every aspect of the yard and its operations.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261590/image/large-47d097ce0549707640f987792763b9e0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261590">These measures include water treatment plants that treat everything, even rainwater, before it gets discharged, and Sea Bins that skim plastics and other debris from the harbour water before they can reach the open sea. When the new ship lift was built at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 La Ciotat (Company)">MB92 La Ciotat</a>, they received permission to use HVO in all the machinery, which means a 90 percent reduction in carbon emissions.&nbsp;When it comes to the business side, Rubio says there is a more fundamental driver than simply return on investment. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/310005/image/large-750953a2d3d77376b37db5ef5052f61c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/310005">“There’s no choice, we cannot not do it, so doing it quicker gives you an advantage and you are a leader,” he maintains. “Plus if we don’t take care of our playground, the sea, then we have nothing to sell to our clients. The amount of investment, the percentage of your revenue you apply to that, I think is different in each case. We’re investing a lot and we’re making business decisions because we truly believe it’s the future. And finally, as an industry, we need to get away from greenwashing.”Moreover, Laura Parry from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess Yachts</a> believes it is important to look outwards as well as working from within the company.“I think it’s essential to work with as many groups and organisations as we can, because at the end of the day I want to be transparent – and if I can make savings within our organisation, why wouldn’t I want to share that with other organisations?” she asks. “Environmental sustainability shouldn’t be competitive; it should be about sharing ideas and best practice.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261589/image/large-844516863426db0a2dbcb00315568607.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261589">Financial incentivesThere is another element of policy at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess Yachts</a> that delivers financial benefits and links to energy efficiency. The voluntary Climate Change Agreement (CCA) scheme, established in 2001 as part of the UK's overall commitment to reducing CO2, aims to make energy and carbon savings through energy efficiency targets whilst also helping maintain competitiveness by reducing energy costs in eligible industrial sectors.“Businesses pay a climate change levy, but there are potentially &nbsp;huge financial savings to be had by applying and committing to those agreements,” Parry explains.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/23326/image/large-5be28ad1b004ce8702a6c6018867d752.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/23326">There is a list of eligible activities that a company can review, and if a site represents 70 percent of that activity it can apply to for an agreement. In <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess Yachts</a>’ case, it was surface engineering due to the laying up of the hulls and decks. They surveyed the sites and determined the relevant facts and figures, which were signed off by the Surface Engineering Association and then the Environment Agency, and the result is a reduction in tax. The financial impact can be considerable – well into six figures for businesses the size of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess Yachts</a>.People powerLike at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess Yachts</a>, Txema Rubio believes it is important to have someone within the company who is focused solely on the sustainability aspect and can support all departments. “That’s a real game-changer,” he says, “because it helps to have small initiatives at every single level of the company.”It extends beyond the obvious measures like increasing recycling to more advanced strategies for a circular economy. The yard’s procurement department together with a sustainability coordinator is checking what the industry can offer in terms of new interior materials, and it is inviting sub-contractors to find and promote new ideas and facilitate conversations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309999/image/large-3e762ac0105ee46b8ea7b680367ff8ac.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309999">It is also manifested in initiatives such as the group’s Refit for the Future service launched in April 2023, which aims to assist owners looking to reduce the environmental impacts of their yachts through the application of the latest tech to drive sustainability.&nbsp;“We explain to crews and owners more the concept of transition and that the sustainability path is not a one or a zero – there will never be the perfect final solution for an asset built 15 years ago,” Rubio says. “But that doesn’t mean you can’t improve things.”

One brokerage that has been well established within the region is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fraser (Company)">Fraser</a>, with a team based in Hong Kong.

This is a sign of the market returning to normal after the large increase of sales witnessed during the Covid-19 period.&nbsp;The outbound brokerage (from Asia to the rest of the world) has experienced a good year in 2023 with several large vessels above 35 and up to 65 metres transacting at the beginning of the year. However the market is now losing steam as most of the large brokerage units that were on the markets from Chinese owners have now been sold and exported abroad. The inventory of quality listings is therefore very limited currently.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/55141" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Will there be an upsurge of yacht building in China?

These owners also tend to prefer new or very recently launched vessels. In terms of new-build deliveries, it is clear that the leading brands have been <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess</a>.

However, I detect a ground swell post-Covid of boat owners who are looking to buy a 30-metre-plus yacht in the Region. Due to the long delivery lines, superyachts under 10 years of age and indeed cancelled in-build opportunities are attracting interest from buyers in Asia. Also it appears that very large yachts are returning to the region, offering great opportunities for charters in Asia waters. We spotted the 2019, 2,999 GT <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6204" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lady S93.0m (305'1&quot;)Feadship2019">Lady S</a> of Ao Po Marina in Phuket and we believe she is for charter. In Phuket now, the general consensus is that the market is coming back with new boats and a revitalised charter market that seems to be running longer outside the season.In terms of brands to watch, we have seen that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/313" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nautor Swan (Company)">Swan</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/293" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mulder Shipyard (Company)">Mulder</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> are becoming desirable brands and perceived as upmarket and exclusive, versus the hyper successful Italian and British brands which to an extent are losing exclusivity as a result of their popularity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/298417/image/large-96c95084c55301c4ce80ed32ef591fd2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/298417">Eric concludes; The market in Asia is now growing healthily, a number of newcomers have been brought to the sector and enjoyed the yachting lifestyle in recent years. The wealth’s level ensures a large untapped pool of potential owners exists. There is therefore no doubt that the growth is here to stay, and that the pace of this growth will be dictated by the speed at which the infrastructure will allow the industry to grow : berthings capacity, marine related Human Resources educational programs, support capacity such as lifting and repairs facilities.According to <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT IQ</a>, in 2022, the percentage of global yacht ownership held by Asians was at 6.4%, representing a total of 127 yacht owners.

Initially, my ambition was to become a yacht designer, however, after consultations, I was steered towards specialising in manufacturing and surveying instead.&nbsp;In my second year, I secured a placement at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunseeker (Company)">Sunseeker</a>, which ultimately led to a full-time position upon graduation. I started in the warranty team with Sean Robertson, focusing on the aftersales aspect, but quickly transitioned to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunseeker (Company)">Sunseeker</a>'s yacht division in 2003. At that time, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunseeker (Company)">Sunseeker</a> was expanding its range, including the 105 yacht and producing 82-footers at a consistent rate, with two such yachts being completed each month across different production lines.&nbsp;I had the opportunity to work alongside James Hutchinson and Joanne Smith, both of whom were instrumental in my development within the company. Under their mentorship, I grew into roles that involved client project management and specification drafting, which laid the foundation for my career in yachting.As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunseeker (Company)">Sunseeker</a> expanded its range of larger yachts, my career progressed correspondingly. I eventually ascended to the role of Superyacht Sales Manager. Over the course of my tenure, I played a pivotal role in the sale of well over 100 yachts exceeding 100 feet in length, many of which were accomplished during my time at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunseeker (Company)">Sunseeker</a>. The roles were a balance of project management and global sales management , collaborating closely with our global distribution network and a significant number of direct clients.It is now eight years since my departure from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunseeker (Company)">Sunseeker</a>. I reflect on my contributions, including the completion of the second 155 Yacht, for one of my clients, as one of the highlights of my career there. Leaving in 2016, I spent a couple of years in consultancy before joining <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess</a> as the Director of their M-class range until the summer of 2019. Following that, I made the transition to what some might consider 'the dark side' - aka brokerage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220734/image/large-96ecbfba825ea4ce1f874c337add79bf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220734">Could you elaborate on the factors that influenced your decision to join&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TWW Yachts (Company)">TWW</a>&nbsp;after working with yacht builders?<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess Yachts</a> made a strategic decision to cease the production of larger yachts. I came in towards the end of their M class series and played a role in the development of the X95.After contemplating the possibility of joining another manufacturer, I ultimately leaned towards a different path. By 2019, with 17 years of experience and a vast network of contacts at my disposal, the question wasn't just about where to go next but about finding the right fit for my next endeavour.In exploring the market and conversing with various industry professionals, after discussions with David Westwood, one the founding partners, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TWW Yachts (Company)">TWW</a> stood out for its optimal balance. The company was large enough to cover every aspect of the industry comprehensively, yet small enough to maintain a personal touch that I valued highly. This combination of professionalism and approachability, exemplified by Michael White’s involvement and the expertise of individuals like James Graham-Cloete in yacht charter management, made <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TWW Yachts (Company)">TWW</a> an attractive choice.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295833/image/large-79d02c5f8027010459659bc9f333cab3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295833">Could you discuss some of the recent trends in new-build sales within the yachting market?In recent years, specifically the last four, there has been a noticeable upward shift in the size of yachts that new clients are choosing for their first purchase. A decade or more ago, it was rare for individuals to start with yachts as large as 50-metres; such an investment was typically made by only a handful of buyers. Nowadays, however, it's increasingly common for new entrants to the market to opt for yachts in the 40 to 50-metre range as their initial acquisition. Instead of beginning with smaller 80-footers, many are directly stepping into the superyacht category from the start.It's crucial for new clients entering the superyacht market to receive proper guidance and accurate information throughout their purchasing journey. Experienced professionals should be readily available to provide this support, ensuring clients receive advice that steers them correctly at every stage. Our reputation for working effectively with clients positions us well to guide them, emphasising the importance of assembling the right team for each project, whether it be a new-build, refit, or straight forward brokerage.&nbsp;A successful new-build project revolves around building a team tailored to the client's needs, including the selection of the right project manager, designer, and other key personnel. It's essential to ensure compatibility within this team; if any team member does not align well with the client, adjustments must be made to ensure a cohesive and harmonious working relationship. Ultimately, the goal is to adjust the 'pieces of the jigsaw' to ensure a fit and a successful project outcome.Since joining this team, I've been involved in numerous new-build projects, each requiring a unique approach in terms of project management and surveying to best fit the client's needs. This adaptability is crucial in our line of work; it's essential to tailor our approach to suit clients from different backgrounds—whether they're from America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, or Australia, each client's preferences and approaches are distinct.Moreover, a key part of our job is to deeply understand what each client truly desires, recognising that while many may think they know what they want, their visions and requirements can evolve. This diversity in client expectations necessitates a flexible approach, allowing us to effectively guide them through their unique journey. My experience working across various global markets has honed my ability to adapt and assist clients in realising their visions. While there are technical aspects of yacht building that remain constant, the ability to adjust our strategy to match each client's specific needs is invaluable.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286576/image/large-c226b98a874f2d82f28d5932f8c152e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286576">What advice would you offer to individuals aspiring to pursue a career as yacht brokers?Yacht brokerage is not an easy career. It relies heavily on relationships built over time, along with connections and experience. It's important to note that most brokerage houses do not offer salaried positions, so success in this field is directly tied to one's ability to broker deals. From my perspective, the most effective strategy for those aspiring to enter yacht brokerage is to first gain a solid foundation within the yachting industry. Understanding the industry thoroughly is crucial before making the transition into brokerage.Making the decision to transition into yacht brokerage was challenging for me due to the high risks involved. Despite my extensive involvement in yacht sales and the strong relationships I had developed, the move still presented significant uncertainties.&nbsp;Throughout the year, I receive numerous inquiries from individuals eager to break into the yacht brokerage field. My immediate question to them is about their experience. It is important to have individuals who are not only well-versed and knowledgeable &nbsp;but also have a solid foundation perhaps through a technical career path, yacht captaincy or similar. However, it's critical to understand that not every captain is inherently suited to be a successful yacht broker, you also have to have the instincts to make a deal happen!&nbsp;Prior to my brokerage career, I had already developed valuable relationships with lawyers, surveyors, captains, suppliers, and established a substantial global network. Many approach yacht brokerage with enthusiasm, drawn by its perceived glamour, yet lack a deep understanding of the industry's complexities.In discussions with lawyers and industry experts, a common concern arises about brokers who fail to ask the pertinent, deep-diving questions. While the industry does include many proficient brokers, a considerable number, in my view, lack the broad, in-depth understanding required to adeptly navigate this complex field. We all want our buyers to remain in the industry for years to come, so ensuring they are guided correctly from the start and you continue to maintain relationships after the deal is done is imperative to us all.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216015/image/large-51c2a4c428af62f53e8ae211f4076204.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216015">

In a monumental move, the UK government has unveiled a financial initiative to support domestic shipbuilding endeavours, extending its support to yacht and superyacht yards. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/212365/image/large-2c2a362ff73d0eead05b4da6808ba464.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/212365" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"> Named the Shipbuilding Credit Guarantee Scheme, this visionary plan entails an impressive 80 percent loan guarantee by the UK government for shipping loans, empowering loans of up to 85 percent of a yacht's value. Thus, UK Export Finance stands ready to back loans of up to £68 million for a yacht valued at £100 million, a formidable boost that can positively impact cash flow for yards during the yacht construction phase.Nusrat Ghani, the UK Minister for Industry and Economic Security, explained the scheme's significance, “Shipbuilding is an integral part of the UK’s industrial identity and through this scheme, we are backing our great maritime businesses to get ahead of the competition. With cutting-edge vessels designed and built here in the UK this will boost high-skilled careers and every company involved in the supply chain for shipbuilding, helping us to grow the economy.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/267386/image/large-dae3ce1b169da0cfd82cfc05981c6e7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/267386">The scope of the scheme encompasses all UK shipbuilders, notably distinguished yards such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunseeker (Company)">Sunseeker</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1912" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Princess Yachts (Company)">Princess Yachts</a>. Moreover, it extends its reach to financing loans for refurbishment, retrofitting, and repair of vessels, lending comprehensive support to the industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/40367/image/large-c9ca425fbf0824d09f8e8ecce5f15099.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/40367">“The exciting part of the Shipbuilding Credit Guarantee Scheme is that it can be used for domestic buyers as well as for ship exports - which have always been available for UK Export Finance support,” said Andrew Woolfson, Vice President, Europe and Africa at AirFinance, a specialist export credit loan arranger. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/258136/image/large-1a5b771835acfb06005cd285755181e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/258136">While many other nations provide comparable export finance opportunities, it is noteworthy that such provisions are predominantly utilised for financing commercial vessels, as opposed to yachts. Andrew Woolfson, Vice President for Europe and Africa at AirFinance shed light on this distinction, affirming that within the realm of yachts, the UK's scheme is most aptly suited for corporate entities. Specifically, it is expected to garner significant interest and participation from fractional ship companies, ferry operators, and proprietors of charter fleets rather than catering primarily to individual buyers. This preference for corporates is attributed to the scheme's facilitation of corporate guarantees, presenting a more streamlined and straightforward process, thereby reinforcing its appeal within the superyacht industry.“It is usually simpler if you can use corporate guarantees rather than personal guarantees,” says Woolfson. “Banks can also use the scheme to syndicate risk, so it is &nbsp;good for credit committees looking to sell down portfolios. It is exciting for UK shipyards.”
